Mine! No Objections Allowed (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 49 : She's Not Going To Argue With You

The media didn’t expect Lisa to appear. At first, there was silence, then the ‘Ka-ka-ka’ sound of the cameras inundated the silent night. The sky was dark, the lights along the red carpet not bright enough; the flashes were very much visible. Afraid that the man wouldn’t be used to it, Jennie smiled for barely a minute before tugging on his sleeve and taking him in on his arm.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming over?” she asked only when they’re inside.

“It was a last-minute decision. I finished a deal and saw that I had enough time to come over.” Lisa’s frown was tight as he stared at her legs. “Do you know what the temperature outside is?”

“More than ten degrees?” Jennie said softly. “In the past, when it’s only a couple degrees you only wore a short-sleeved shirt.”

Lisa paused and side-eyed her. “When did you see me in a short-sleeved shirt?”

Jennie then realised that she had accidentally let slip. She hurriedly turned her head and smiled, making a motion of zipping her lips. Then, holding his arm, she brought him to the centre of the back row to sit down. Since those in charge of this event weren’t too sure how many celebrities would be willing to show up, there was no requirement for the seating arrangement, it had all been left up to the guests.

Lisa didn’t say anything, allowing her to pull him along. In the past, when they had to go on a mission during winter, they would usually put on a jacket. They wouldn’t wear short sleeves unless it was one that involved tons of physical work, the kind that would make them sweat. Only then, because they found the jacket troublesome, most would choose to take it off.

When had Jennie seen him in short sleeves?

He had carried out too many missions to recall it at once. Because they had arrived a little late, most people had already found their seats. Although it wasn’t a large-scale event, the organisers had a huge network and there were still plenty of big names in attendance. Among the guests, the ones who were a bit more well known sat nearer to the front, while those who had just entered the industry or those who weren’t that well known and knew that they wouldn’t need to go receive awards had obediently sat in the last row.

Once there were people filling up the front and the back, the centre row nearer the back became mostly empty; between people there tended to be a few seats, and it was why Jennie chose this seat.

After sitting down, she was about to sneakily hold hands with Lisa when the sound boxes around them sounded.

“Test.” A worker tested out the mike before saying, “Good evening everyone, it’s like this, in the centre rows the seating is a little more spread out and there’s a portion in the centre that’s a bit too empty. It’d look strange on the camera, so could we have people change their seats? The ones sitting at the back could move forward, the ones in the front needn’t sit so close to each other too… thank you for your cooperation.”

Once the person finished speaking, those at the back didn’t react, but those in front started moving. Not too long after, the seats around Jennie were filled.

The person sitting beside her was an actress she once worked with. She said with a smile, “Kim Jennie, if you had said earlier that you’re coming I would’ve waited for you to walk the red carpet.”

The two were fine when they were filming, and had privately practised their lines together before, but after filming they hadn’t been in much contact.

Jennie tilted her head and smiled. “I decided to come last minute too.”

“You’re filming ‘Undercurrent’, right?” The actress held her elbow very easily as if they were really close. “At the Seoul Film Park? I’m going to Seoul in a few days, I’ll go visit you.”
